, the mysterious world under steampunk

As Leo had surveyed before, apart from the main beams and columns of the underground palace, the buildings in the underground palace were barely intact, other secondary walls, columns and other parts were all damaged in the previous war, especially the dome of the underground palace has been destroyed. Nearly 90% of the time, only a few stone walls adhered to the rock at the top of the cave are still intact.

It was also because of the damage to the dome that the thing hidden in the dome fell to the ground together because a certain stone beam it was supporting was broken just now, attracting Leo.

I saw that the dropped item was a completely petrified tree core. Its shape was quite large, about ten meters in length and two meters in diameter. It should be the core part of a big tree, at both ends. The annual rings can be seen in the cross section, and many obvious marks of cutting with tools can be seen around it.

If it was just an ordinary petrified tree heartwood, it would not have attracted too much attention from Leo. The reason why he was attracted is that after hearing the movement just now, he scanned the underground palace through the mental network, but did not No abnormality was found until he carefully analyzed the shape of the shattered ceiling from the zenith, the traces of the collision when the object fell, and the indentation of the gravel and dust on the ground. It was analyzed that there should be a column on the ground here, which attracted him. Leo's attention, because the effect of this thing is very similar to the item that isolates him and Sylvia, maybe there is some connection between the two.

"The Female President's Almighty King"

At the first sight of this petrified tree heartwood, Leo was sure that this thing was not a product of this world, but came from other worlds, because in his perception, this thing seemed so out of tune with the whole world, It was as if a drop of oil had been dropped into a basin of clear water. Even though both were liquids, they were completely incompatible.

Leo didn't know which world this petrified heartwood came from, but he knew very well that this petrified heartwood should have come to this world when the non-human aliens were still living in the original continent, and was built in this world. The non-human aliens of the underground palace were obtained, and it is even possible that this underground palace was specially built to store this petrified tree.

Because from the ancient architecture of the world that Leo knew, the place where the petrified tree core is stored is called the arch center in the classification of the entire underground palace building structure. It is the most important part of ancient religious buildings and is specially used for storage. The special position of the true body of the gods.

The deities stored here are not real deities, but substitutes, because most of the ancient religions in this world are natural religions, worshiping some natural creatures, some fierce beasts, some tall trees, It may even be some kind of ore, so in such primitive natural religion buildings, in addition to placing an anthropomorphic **** statue in the building, the natural form of the worship object will also be placed in the position of the arch, such as some kind of idol. The skull of a creature, an unprocessed ore, etc., and this petrified tree heart tree should be the real body of the deity worshiped in this underground palace.

And after such an analysis, Leo was able to determine that the petrified tree heartwood in front of him should not be the original form when the underground palace was built, and maybe even the magical effect of the tree heartwood is not the one he feels now.

It's very simple, if Shuxinmu hadn't given the non-human aliens an extremely shocking appearance and ability at that time, those non-human aliens would not have spent so much manpower and material resources to build such a magnificent underground palace underground to worship this. There is a heart tree, so when the underground palace was built, this tree heart tree was probably not in a petrified state, but had a more dazzling appearance, and the power it possessed could also be felt and utilized by ordinary people.

However, after all, this heart tree is just a piece of wood without roots, branches and leaves. Even if it had extremely powerful power at the beginning, it could not withstand the release of it all the time. Over time, the power contained in it will inevitably decay to the level of ordinary people. to the point of imperceptibility.

This is evident from the fact that the non-human aliens who built the underground palace left the old continent and migrated to the new world without taking out the tree heart from the arch of the underground palace. Obviously, the non-human alien at that time could no longer perceive the power of the tree. , I don't even know what this underground palace was built for, so I abandoned this tree heart tree here.

In addition, Leo also felt that although the tree heartwood was abandoned here, its power still did not disappear, it was just that ordinary people could not perceive it, and the power of the tree heartwood was likely to play a role later, such as influence The Corrupted Tongue's progress in recovering the injury, or the power of the Corrupted Tongue is suppressed.

Before, when Leo listened to Vera and the others telling the complete story of the battle with the Fallen Tongue, he felt a little abnormal, because at that time, the Fallen Tongue did not behave like a power that an abyss superior should have, Sylvie It was too easy for them to win, at least Leo knew that Sylvia still had several ultimate moves to turn the tables in desperation. It is completely inconsistent with the strength that the player should have.

Tokatni, the tongue of the fallen, is not known for its strength among the abyss superior races. As long as the abyss superior race like the abyss dragon is an adult, it can have the strength comparable to any true **** in the world, which is almost equivalent to just completing the evolution. The Omega-level high-level life form, but the fallen tongue Tokatni needs to go through several world sacrifices to the will of the abyss, and enter the old age before he can have the power of the true **** of the world.

However, the abyss upper races are after all abyss upper races, and the weakest abyss upper races basically have one or two special powers that are strong enough to compete with the gods, just like the several desperate powers that Sylvia possesses, while those The abyss high-ranking races that have been able to travel between different worlds will have a lot of life-saving means. When facing a desperate situation, they can't win, but they can also escape.

But from the battle process Vera and the others described, the fallen tongue Tokatni was not able to escape until the moment it was destroyed, and there was no sign of even being able to display any life-saving means, which was obviously against common sense.

As for the wound that never healed on Tokatni, the fallen tongue, this cannot be used to explain her poor performance, and her injury is also very strange. It has not healed for so many years, and it even affects her cast. The means of saving lives, this is also counterintuitive.

At that time, Leo had a lot of doubts about the performance of the Fallen Tongue Tokatni, and also doubted whether the Fallen Tongue had any backhand and deceived Vera and the others, so he took the initiative to come here for Vera Clear the abyss power that remains here.

However, now that he saw this tree hidden in the arch of the underground palace and could not be sensed by any force, he felt that he might have found the reason why the fallen tongue's power was abnormally exerted and the injury had not healed for a long time. If so, then his previous questions will be answered.

Because this petrified heartwood has the effect of affecting any extraordinary power, it cannot be probed by any method, which makes Leo unclear whether there are other mysterious powers in this heartwood, and whether these powers are harmful to him. , so even if he was interested in this thing, he did not touch it directly.

After walking around the heartwood for two times, he began to think about how to remove the heartwood without danger and transport it to a suitable place to study slowly.

For this reason, he specially climbed to the position of the vault of the underground palace where the tree heartwood was previously stored, and wanted to see how the previous non-human aliens stored this tree heartwood.

However, the result disappointed him a little, because the place was very simple, it was a container similar to a sarcophagus, there was nothing else worth noting, and there was no supernatural power or thing.

Although nothing of value was found, he at least knew that the petrified heartwood could be stored in a stone container.

So he went directly to the underground palace, found a stone pillar with a good shape, made a stone support that was recessed inward, and then dug a tunnel beside the tree heartwood just enough to accommodate the tree heartwood. Dig a **** and dig an aisle at the bottom.

Although this is definitely a big project for ordinary people, it is very simple for Leo, and it took less than an hour to complete.

After that, he put the stone support in the middle of the tunnel, that is, the center of the tree, then returned to the top, directly picked up a stone, and pushed the tree to the tunnel without touching the tree. Inside, it just fell into the groove of the stone holder, and it stopped rolling when it got stuck.

Seeing that the tree heart was stuck as he thought, Leo entered the aisle at the bottom of the tunnel from the slopes at both ends, and bent down to the bottom of the stone support. After choosing a suitable position to lift, he moved He directly carried the stone support, together with the tree heart above it, and then walked out of the tunnel slowly, avoiding some obstacles, entering the passage leading to the underground cave of the liaison office, and walking forward.

Fortunately, this tunnel is a straight line, and there is no turning point, so Leo walked smoothly with a ten-meter-long tree heartwood. The only obstacle is that some passages are mud, not rocks. Bearing the weight of his feet, he had to use his psionic skills to solidify the soil under his feet before he could walk smoothly.

When using psionic energy, Leo also discovered a feature of the tree heart tree, that is, it has a certain strengthening effect on psionic energy, although this strengthening effect cannot make the final effect of psionic skills have a qualitative change. , but it reduces the consumption of psychic energy to a certain extent.

It's just that, even after discovering this, Leo never thought about using this thing to make a psionic energy booster or something, because the strengthening effect of the tree heart wood seems to be only for psionic energy, and any other power, even including stone The power aura of the throne will be disturbed by it, so that these powers will be in an unstable state after being displayed, and this interference does not need to be removed directly, it only needs to exist within its range. As for how big its range is, Leo temporarily It's not clear, but it can only be speculated that it should be within a few meters around the heart of the tree.

Soon Leo returned to the cave where Sylvia cultivated. He did not intend to put things in the crypt, but wanted to bypass Sylvia and continue to walk from the passage to the liaison office warehouse above. go.

However, this idea changed very quickly, because Leo found that when he was carrying the tree heart tree around Sylvia, the tree heart tree did not touch Sylvia, and it was still a long way from Sylvia. There are several meters, just within the range of the interference effect of the tree heart tree, the aura of the abyss demon dragon that was somewhat chaotic on Sylvia began to calm down, and he could clearly see Sylvia's painful expression. eased.

In order to verify his guess, Leo carried the heart of the tree and got closer to Sylvia, and at this time Sylvia's reaction was more obvious. The influence of this kind of influence is not considered suppression, but more like interference, which loosens the condensed power of the abyss dragon.

After discovering this, Leo immediately had a new idea in his heart, and saw that he carried the tree heartwood to an open space not far from the cave, and then took out the sacrificial knife and cut the tree heartwood.

Although this petrified tree heart tree has an interference effect on any kind of power, the interference effect is also divided into strong and weak. Obviously, the power contained in the sacrificial knife can still maintain its proper effect when it is disturbed. Moreover, the sharp power of the sacrificial knife itself is not disturbed. When cutting the heartwood, it is still like cutting a model made of ooze, and it is easily broken down into a dozen pieces of different sizes.

As Leo predicted in advance, even if the petrified tree heartwood is cut into pieces, the power contained in it will not be greatly affected, but the scope of action is only slightly reduced, but this Europe is not a big problem.

After that, Leo carried these fragments with stone supports and placed them near different positions of Sylvia's body, and then made a few stone covers that did not affect its effect, preventing Sylvia from moving her body. Touch these shards of heartwood.

The locations where the tree heart wood fragments are placed were not randomly chosen by Leo. They were selected by Leo after sensing the abnormal situation in Sylvia's body, and selected several places where the power of the out-of-control abyss dragon was the most. The abyss in these places The power of the demon dragon is as hard as a rock, and Sylvia can only completely digest the power of these out of control abyss demon dragons by using water to grind it away, and it will take a long time to do so.

Now, with the help of these petrified tree heart trees that can affect the power of the abyss demon dragon, the condensed abyss demon dragon's power has become loose, and Sylvia's conditioning and absorption of these powers are also much easier. Sylvia's painful expression about to completely subside can be seen. According to estimates, it will take less than five days at most. Sylvia should be able to completely control the power of the abyss dragon in her body. Able to cast spells to seal its powers, returning it to its original human form.

In order to avoid accidents, Leo did not leave the cave, but stayed beside Sylvia, watching over him all the time.
